Bell X1 are an Irish band, hailing from North County Kildare, Ireland. Originally known as Juniper, they became a foursome with the departure of Damien Rice and rechristened themselves Bell X1. The head count includes Paul Noonan, Brian Crosby, Dominic Philips and David Geraghty. They have a floating drummer, Tim O' Donovan, who also fronts Neosupervital. They have released three albums to date; Neither Am I in 2001, Music In Mouth in 2003 and Flock which was released in 2005. Though Neither Am I did not have a dramatic impact commerically the band did build up an incredibly devoted fanbase on the gig circuit, due in part perhaps to the popularity of Juniper. Their second album caused more of a splash, notably for the inclusion of the song "Eve, The Apple Of My Eye" in a contentious episode of The O.C., during the scene in which Marissa shared a lesbian kiss with Alex.
